Fictional character biography

edit

Elias Bogan is a wealthy, reclusive mutant who is rumored to be the inspiration for the Hellfire Club. After losing a bet to Sebastian Shaw and his advisor Tessa, Bogan harbors a grudge against the latter and attempts to exact revenge years later by capturing her and branding her face with blood-like tattoos.[1] However, Tessa is rescued by Storm of the X-Men.

In subsequent appearances, Bogan battles the X-Men, briefly enslaves Rachel Summers, and gains access to Cerebra.[2] He also establishes a secret base in the catacombs under the X-Corporation, where he once had a branch of the Hellfire Club.
